Salon d'Aventure

Whatever your politics, you have to admit that French privateers have a certain style. The most fashionable amoung them have formed something of a club, the Salon d'Aventure. It is a place for those French captains who have made their fortunes in privateering to go swap stories with their peers. Naturally, any time you put that many egos in one room, rivalries spring up. The members of the Salon are always trying to top their colleagues with grander tales and grander fashions. It makes for a highly motivataed, if narcissistic, bunch of privateers.
